Περίληψη

The article explores the dynamic relationship between Science and Ethics in the context of rapid biomedical and technological advancement. The author examines the nature of scientific progress, challenging the Enlightenment view that newer developments are inherently "better" or more "true" than older ones. Instead, it is argued that while science relies on technical reason (mathematical logic and empirical method), it only covers a fragment of human self-awareness. Ethics is presented not as a passive recipient of scientific findings, but as an expression of the ontological reason—the totality of the human spirit, including will and emotion. The text concludes that Ethics must serve as the ultimate validator of scientific achievements, determining what truly serves humanity and "life" as a whole, asserting that Ethics gives meaning to science rather than deriving meaning from it.
